[00:01.97]Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us
[00:06.67]Although them again we will never, never, never trust
[00:10.69]
[00:12.78]Dem noh know weh dem do, dig out yuh yei while dem sticking like glue,
[00:16.79]Fling, skin, grin while dem plotting fah you,
[00:19.16]True, Ah Who???
[00:20.74]
[00:21.07]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[00:30.92]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[00:40.14]
[00:41.69]Beware the false motives of others
[00:46.54]Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers
[00:51.83]And you never suppose it's those who are closest to you, to you
[01:01.14]They say all the right things to gain their position
[01:06.57]Then use your kindness as their ammunition
[01:11.47]To shoot you down in the name of ambition, they do
[01:18.05]
[01:19.90]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[01:29.66]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[01:38.40]
[01:39.39]Why every Indian wanna be the chief?
[01:41.18]Feed a man 'til he's full and he still want beef
[01:43.76]Give me grief, try to tief off my piece
[01:46.08]Why for you to increase, I must decrease?
[01:48.55]If I treat you kindly does it mean that I'm weak?
[01:50.97]You hear me speak and think I won't take it to the streets
[01:53.67]I know enough cats that don't turn the other cheek
[01:56.00]But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik
[01:58.33]And other African czars observing stars with war scars
[02:01.07]Get yours in this capitalistic system
[02:03.15]So many caught or got bought you can't list them
[02:05.44]How you gonna idolize the missing?
[02:07.02]To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition
[02:09.49]Even when they comin' gunnin'
[02:10.68]I stand position
[02:11.79]L's known the mission since conception
[02:13.90]Let's free the people from deception
[02:15.62]If you looking for the answers
[02:16.79]Then you gotta ask the questions
[02:18.11]And when I let go, my voice echoes through the ghetto
[02:20.33]Sick of men trying to pull strings like Geppetto
[02:22.90]Why black people always be the ones to settle
[02:25.44]March through these streets like Soweto
[02:27.69]
[02:29.41]Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas,
[02:37.10]Backstabbers do this
[02:38.55]
[02:38.78]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[02:48.09]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[02:57.87]
[02:58.83]It took me a little while to discover
[03:03.84]Wolves in sheep coats who pretend to be lovers
[03:09.14]Men who lack conscience will even lie to themselves, to themselves
[03:18.34]A friend once said, and I found to be true
[03:23.71]That everyday people, they lie to God too
[03:28.28]So what makes you think, that they won't lie to you
[03:36.43]
[03:37.14]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[03:44.54]Forgive them, forgive them
[03:47.20]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[03:54.71]Forgive them, forgive them
[03:56.06]
